......

A week or two before each race, Lu Jue would readjust the training schedule to prevent injuries.

Besides that, he also paid special attention to the Uma Musume's diet and mental state.

This check truly uncovered a problem for Lu Jue.

"Xiao Te, has your diet been very irregular lately?" Lu Jue's expression gradually turned serious as he looked at the number on the scale.

"I..." Special Week hadn't expected to have gained so much weight. Seeing Lu Jue's expression, her pale face seemed to turn to plaster.

Fear consumed Special Week's heart. Clenching her hands, she didn't even know how she got off the scale. "I'm sorry, Trainer Mr."

The other Uma Musume also looked at Special Week with concern.

"Mr. Lu Jue, I'm also at fault. It's my fault for not keeping an eye on Xiao Te and letting her eat a lot of late-night snacks..." Silence Suzuka, seeing the atmosphere was off, quickly spoke up.

As Special Week's roommate, she naturally knew that Special Week gained weight because of late-night snacks.

It was just that the extra fat was all on her stomach, not obvious. And she sweated a lot during regular training, so Silence Suzuka hadn't expected her to gain so much weight.

Lu Jue calmed down. If he had to say, he had been a bit negligent himself.

"Xiao Te, don't be nervous. Control your diet recently, slowly lose some weight, and no more late-night snacks, understand?" Lu Jue tried to make his tone as gentle as possible.

No matter how angry he was, he couldn't bear to scold these little Uma Musume.

The reason he was angry was because he was worried about her.

"I understand, Trainer Mr."

Special Week was teary-eyed. Lu Jue's words not only didn't relax her but made her feel even more guilty.

"Alright, alright, sometimes being able to eat is a good thing, to build muscle, and training is very tiring, so nutrition must keep up. Late-night snacks, you can have them occasionally, but eating them often makes it easy to gain weight." Lu Jue pulled out a tissue, leaned down, and carefully wiped the corners of her eyes. "Don't cry anymore."

"Mm-hmm." Special Week stopped her tears, but her eyelashes were still a bit damp.

After Lu Jue finished all this, he subconsciously looked in Seiun Sky's direction.

He saw her pursing her lips, her head turned to the other side.

Sigh, being a Trainer is really a bit difficult.

Silence Suzuka, standing nearby, noticed Lu Jue's gaze and looked at him suspiciously.

What was with this unsettling sixth sense?

"Today's training ends here. Everyone can go back for now. Those on cleaning duty, please stay a bit longer."

The lounge, after all, belonged to everyone, so regular cleaning was very necessary.

But it didn't need to be cleaned every day; once a week on Friday was fine.

Just in time for the weekend when there was no training.

"Yay! Freedom!" Uralala was always the first to run out of the lounge.

Special Week and Silence Suzuka packed up their things and also prepared to leave.

Before the two left, Lu Jue instructed, "Xiao Te, you need to control yourself. Silence Suzuka, you also need to supervise Xiao Te."

......

After seeing the two off, Lu Jue turned to look at Seiun Sky, who was leaning against the table.

The latter glanced at him, then turned her head away again, her chin almost pointing to the sky, but her tail was still wagging briskly.

"Why... are you angry again?" Lu Jue scratched his face. He didn't have much experience in coaxing girls.

"This time I didn't just care about Xiao Te. The healthy diet plan I made for you considered the foods you usually like to eat."

"But Xiao Te has all of those too," Seiun Sky said, delivering a fatal blow.

Lu Jue licked the corner of his mouth, speechless for a moment.

But he wasn't stupid. He understood Seiun Sky's unspoken meaning: what Xiao Te didn't have, she wanted to have.

"How about after the race, I accompany you on a shopping trip?" Lu Jue could only think of this for now.

If it were Silence Suzuka, she might have agreed directly.

But she was Seiun Sky, the Seiun Sky with extreme offensive and defensive capabilities.

"I don't care. I can go shopping with them too, and we have many common topics."

"Then you don't have to clean today; I'll do it for you."

"This is even worse than the last one." Seiun Sky closed her eyes, her arms crossed, but she started to hum softly inside.

Lu Jue gave in, but he felt this matter needed to be handled well. If he was too casual, Seiun Sky's psychological balance would definitely be off, and the last incident might recur.

"Then tell me, what can I do?"

Seiun Sky opened one eye, her face mischievous, with a hint of triumphant satisfaction, "Anything?"

"Not too much, though." This was the first time Lu Jue felt flustered in front of a petite Uma Musume.

Small body, big energy, indeed.

"Of course not! How could I make Trainer Mr. difficult?" Seiun Sky spread her hands, having Lu Jue exactly where she wanted him.

"Alright, then tell me."

"Recently, there have been more and more mosquitoes, but I don't know why they don't bite me... I kind of want to be bitten by mosquitoes."

Lu Jue: 6......

"You... mean admiration?"

"No way!" Seiun Sky protested with a clenched fist, then blushed, angrily crossing her arms and refusing to look at Lu Jue.

Lu Jue secretly clicked his tongue, thinking that Seiun Sky actually understood this too.

"You want to be bitten by mosquitoes? That's simple. Run slower when you pass through the woods tonight."

"Got it. If you don't agree, I'll go clean."

"Eh... wait." Lu Jue rubbed his forehead. How could he not understand what Seiun Sky was saying, given the metaphor he created himself? "Didn't we agree not to be excessive?"

"How is it excessive? Haven't you already been bitten twice...?" Seiun Sky's momentum weakened, and her voice grew softer and softer.

She would also be shy about such things.

Lu Jue's head hurt even more.

Look, look, she still had the nerve to talk about kissing him by force.

But... no matter how you looked at it, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

Seeing Lu Jue hesitate, Seiun Sky spoke again, "Then add another condition... that is, if I win the Satsuki Sho."

After saying this, Seiun Sky's anxious heart was like waves churning in a strong wind, and invisible flames seared her chest and cheeks.

Damn it... answer me quickly.

Why wasn't he answering her yet?

"First, finish the cleaning... then I'll decide whether to agree to you." When the voice came, Lu Jue was already holding a broom, distractedly sweeping the floor, as if trying to hide something.

Seiun Sky's eyes rolled, and she smiled again.

She's quite cute when she's shy...

Little Trainer, I've got you wrapped around my finger.
